Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Reviews

The-digital-picture reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and writes;“When image quality counts, the 24-70 L II is the clear winner. It is sharper/has better contrast at f/2.8 than the 24-105 has at f/4 and continues to win all like-aperture comparisons until DLA becomes apparent at f/11. The II has less distortion, significantly less CA and, until stopped down a couple of stops, less vignetting. The 24-105 L is significantly less expensive and has a longer focal length range.”rating: N/A

Digphoto reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and writes;“Not only is the updated 24-70mm II lighter and more compact, it improves on the first version across the board. Besides stunning sharpness, the lens provides better autofocus, nicer bokeh and a warmer image all around. Unlike its predecessor, the 24-70mm II utilizes 82mm filters and has a different focal length at 70mm.”rating: N/A

Photoreview reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and writes;“Vignetting was very well controlled and only just visible at the widest aperture settings. Stopping down only one f-stop made it disappear. Distortion was also very low for the lens’s focal length range, with only slight barrel distortion visible at 24mm and nothing significant thereafter.”Rating:

Kenrockwell reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and writes;“24-70mm f/2.8 lenses are favorites of most professional wedding and event photographers because of their great sharpness, high speed and optimum range for general people photos while walking the grounds and the room. It goes as wide as you’d ever dare for group shots without distorting faces,”rating: N/A

As a professional zoom lens, this lens offers superb optics, high-end durable construction and performance with one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle, as well as reducing color blurring around the edges of the subject.

The lens also combines two types of aspherical lenses to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area, as well as through the full zoom range. While to produce outstanding color balance and to minimize ghosting, the lens also optimize the lens coatings. With a circular 9-blade diaphragm, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is able to create beautiful, soft backgrounds. By utilizing a ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms, makes it has silent and fast autofocusing.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling, smears and fingerprints.
